The show’s first season will feature relationships with women.

The CW’s reimagining of the Archie comic book series, Riverdale, starring Cole Sprouse and K.J. Apa, is set to premiere in just a few days, and we can’t wait to see how the show’s creators translated the beloved characters from the comic book to the TV screen.

Though we know that the show is going to be dark — as in, dead body found in the waterdark — one of the most complex characters in the Archie universe is set to be Archie’s friend Jughead. He’ll be portrayed by Cole in the TV show, but it’s not just Cole’s return to TV that is causing some pretty solid interest.

Cole told Hollywood Life that he intends to “keep fighting for this pretty heavily,” though he added that Jughead will have a few relationships with women (and his trademark love for burgers) during the series’ first season. (It's unclear if he means that those relationships with women will be sexual or not, as asexual people can have romantic and not sexual relationships.)

“Asexuality is not one of those things in my research that is so understood at face value, and I think maybe the development of that narrative could also be something very interesting and very unique and still resonate with people, and not step on anyone’s toes,” Cole said in the interview. “I think sexuality, especially, is one of those fluid things where often times we find who we are through certain things that happen in our lives.”

Jughead’s exploration of his identity could be a very powerful moment for television, and for people who don’t see themselves represented on TV. Considering the kids of Riverdale are high schoolers, they’re figuring out a lot of things, including their sexuality. It could be incredibly groundbreaking and inclusive to develop a storyline around Jughead’s asexuality.

Riverdale’s producers seem open to exploring these themes too. Showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa told MTV News that he and Cole have been discussing the idea seriously. "The way we're treating Riverdale, especially season 1, is it's an origin story,” because they have “75 years of Archie history to catch up with.” Encouragingly, that’s not a no to staying true to Jughead’s current canon — but we’ll have to wait to find out.
